Manhattan-Style Circuits Workshop: Build Your Own Circuit Board!

Join us for a hands-on Manhattan-style circuit board workshop hosted by Hector KE2CLW! From 7 PM to 9 PM, you’ll learn the essentials of creating your own Manhattan-style circuit boards in a collaborative and engaging environment. This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike. You'll leave with your own custom project!
The "Manhattan style" is a classic method of circuit construction. It's especially popular among radio amateurs for high frequency circuits because it has a solid ground plane that helps to reduce interference and noise.​
It's also a fun way to build simple discrete circuits. :)
​
Pros:

• Fast build time (at least compared to etching boards)
• Easy building and schematic to layout conversion
• Great for quiet noise free-builds (superior to stripboard, perfboard and tagboard in this respect)

Cons:

• Doesn't suit IC chips
• Only good for smaller less complex circuits

Some people would probably not agree with the disadvantages I listed since I've seen people go crazy with complex build using IC chips and even SMD components on Manhattan style builds.
